Skip Town Lyrics by The Ready Aim Fire!

Strong Enough

2008

The nights were all electronic
The earth was a pixelated comet
My voice was all ones and zeroes til you showed up
This whole goddamn city is a desert
The air is suffocating
It's aching with desperation
Yeah, I'm all choked up now, I'm all choked up now
Now that you're the lyric I could never cross out
Yeah, you're the book I could never put down
I'm just scared when I wake up in the next town
You'll forget I was ever there at all
Oh, she gets cleaned up and I'm stuck in time
"Let's get out of here, let's get out of here
Oh, let's not wait too long
Let's get out of here, let's get the fuck out of here."
I said, "Oh, there'd be nothing in our way
Like swimming in the ocean
You could just keep on going
So let's just keep going."
But we just drift through the night
Drinking all we can
Yeah, we drank all we can
Yeah, didn't we, love?
Yeah, we tried to forget:
Soon we'd be just tears in airport terminals
Gasping for breath
And when the dawn crept up
My eyes refused to adjust
To this empty bed
As that silence poured in
I said, "Oh, let's get out of here."
I said, "Oh, let's get out of here."
I said, "Oh, let's not wait too long
Let's get out of here, let's get the fuck out of here."
So kiss me
Let's skip town
